The Tulalip Tribes of Washington entered an agreement with a California logging company to allow hunting on the company's land.

Members can check out the keys to tens of thousands of acres owned by the Sierra Pacific Industries. "There are some companies out there that recognize the tribal hunting right," Tulalip Tribes wildlife manager Michael Sevigny told The Everett Herald. "This happens to be one of them."

The 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott guarantees tribal hunting on "open and unclaimed" land in their traditional territories. Sierra Pacific has agreements with other treaty signatories to allow hunting.
